Aimee has a story she had wanted to tell for quite a while. In 2000, she went on a trip to Poland to visit the village her grandparents once lived in long ago, before World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust. She could have never imagined the profound impact this trip would have on her. For around eleven years, she couldn't find the right words to express her experience, nor could she find the time to put aside and focus on writing this story.
When Aimee asked me to help her document her story so she could share it with the world, I was immensely honored that she would trust me with such a personal and powerful story.
With Aimee confiding to me her journey, my writing the draft of the story, and the great amount of editing done by Aimee and her mother, we finally were able to convey this inspirational experience Aimee went through. Here is the story Back to Poland. I won't give away the details, but this tale of family exploration and pursuit of the truth is definitely worth a look.
